Thanks for quick response, that did give me more information which enabled me to work out what was going wrong and I think I am on the right track now,
just got to set up the lists now. Just a quick question on the site section for the slam.config if the site is the top level site where I have installed SLAM do I just use the site’s name or does it need the full path such as
http://portal/group/technical or just technical in this case?

If http://portal/group/technical/ is the path to the root site of a site collection then you do not need to specify the Site attribute for a List (or you leave it blank). If it is not the top site collection (in terms of the web application) it is
recommended that you specify the SiteCollection attribute of the DataMapping node for that site collection. So if http://portal/ is your web application then you have a managed path called /group/ with "technical" then being a site collection
your DataMapping node would have SiteCollection="group/technical" in it. This is not strictly necessary if you are not configuring SLAM to work with any other site collections in your web application and you are managing SLAM from that site
collection such that you are always going to /group/technical/_layouts/SLAM/... instead of say http://portal/_layouts/SLAM/... If you have multiple Data Mappings without SiteCollection attributes set it will likely not behave the way you want it to because
it will only ever load types from the firsrt DataMapping in such a case. It is better to think of a missing or blank SiteCollection value as indicating the top level site collection.
